Hallo, My name is Zola and I am a seventh grader at Santa Barbara Middle School.

    The moment I heard about Teen Press, I wanted in. Interviewing, writing, and watching movies are some of my favorite things, and Teen Press lets me do them for school. All in all, Teen Press is an amazing opportunity that I would be stupid to pass up. In terms of events, I can't wait for the Film Festival. I am really excited to meet the actors and directors and interveiw them. 

     My dream interview would be the Cirque du Soleil troupe. Aerials is a huge passion for me, and to hear the stories of the people who do this for a living, and do it best, would be a dream come true. I hope that when I am older I can join a circus troupe and perform, and so it would be really interesting to meet someone who does that. 

    If I had to choose 3 movies to watch for the rest of my life, I would choose Role Models, Pirate Radio, and........... I have no idea. There are too many great movies. Role Models because it is absolutely hilarious. It is the kind of humor that makes a lot of people not like the movie, but in the end it surprises you with how sweet and caring the characters really are. I chose Pirate Radio mostly because of the soundtrack. It has all the best rock songs from the 60s plus it is hilarious.  

    Hmmmmm...... a random fact about me. It has been said that all facts about me are random, but I will try to choose a specific one. OK when I was in fourth grade I lived and traveled around Europe for 6 months, while being homeschooled by my parents.
